Hi,

You have scored that email over 30 points, so what help do you require ? If you want to reduce the number at the MTA then you could always look at implementing the RBLs directly from Exim, or look at other methods like greylisting.

Regards,

Hello mailscanner,


The amount of spam we are getting has really grown in the last few
weeks, from 2 or 3 per day to dozens per hour.

Any help would be appreciated.

Here is an example: (and it certainly is NOT in my whitelist!:)
